Hey galitzyaner, it doesn't seem like your all too familiar with very well known speakers/rosh yeshivas/keyboard players.
R' Frand is a very famous speaker. As someone that listens to his speeches all the time, I was not at all surprised by his delivery at the siyum hashas.
R' lazer Ginsburg - the mariv bal tefilah - is a chosheva rov.
Shabsi parnes - the keyboard player - is a professional one man band and top of the line in his field.
